Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-30
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

Last Monday week, Mahmoud al-Saadi was shot in the stomach as he made his way to school by the Israeli occupying forces while they were conducting a raid on a refugee camp in Jenin. He is one of 47 children who have been murdered by Israeli forces just this year, as well as a massive escalation that has claimed the lives of hundreds of Palestinians.
When the Taoiseach met the US congressional delegation, or whenever he talks to his American counterparts, does he ask them the very simple questions as to why they continue to arm the Israeli State to carry out these criminal and murderous actions against Palestinian people, why they continue to give billions of dollars in military aid and why they continue to veto every effort to bring sanction against Israel for its crimes against innocent children going to school and being shot down by murderous Israeli forces?
